(Einstein was formally awarded his PhD on 15 January 1906.) [81] [82] [83] Four other pieces of work that Einstein completed in 1905—his famous papers on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, his special theory of relativity and the equivalence of mass and energy—have led to the year being celebrated as an annus mirabilis for physics ...
Albert Einstein's brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death. His apparent regularities or irregularities in the brain have been used to support various ideas about correlations in neuroanatomy with general or mathematical intelligence. Studies have suggested an increased number of glial cells in Einstein's brain. [1] [2]
1905 - Albert Einstein publishes a paper explaining the photoelectric effect on a quantum basis. 1913 - William Coblentz receives US1077219, "Solar cell." 1914 - Sven Ason Berglund patents "methods of increasing the capacity of photosensitive cells." 1916 - Robert Millikan conducts experiments and proves the photoelectric effect.
The Einsteinhaus on the Kramgasse in Bern, Einstein's residence at the time. Most of the papers were written in his apartment on the first floor above the street level. At the time the papers were written, Einstein did not have easy access to a complete set of scientific reference materials, although he did regularly read and contribute reviews to Annalen der Physik.
Scientists stand ready to manipulate quantum light, just as Albert Einstein envisioned in 1916. Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Basel successfully managed to ...
Albert Einstein at the home library of Paul Ehrenfest in Leiden, the Netherlands, in 1916. Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a renowned theoretical physicist of the 20th century, best known for his special and general theories of relativity.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein – German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). [1] [2]: 274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.
